Are many governments in the developed world facing a fiscal Mission Impossible?
They looked at current financial risks, global fiscal challenges, and central bank independence, focusing on the political implications.
The conversation highlighted how political systems and electoral dynamics are shaping economic policies in the post-COVID era, with concerns about rising government debt, market volatility, and the IMF's limited bailout capacity.
They discussed central bank independence, suggesting it may align with government needs rather than being truly autonomous, and also explored potential political and economic shifts over the next decade, including inflation's role in addressing debt.
